Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves about the 51 problem ------how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well 52 no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus’ six buildings comfortable.
Some parts of the buildings ------ theatres and offices 53 classrooms ------ are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned

Passage 1
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the day before. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles (肌肉) relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyes are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!

A. Sleep

Passage 2
Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in a row. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what his senses – in this case our eyes – tell us.
Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.
71) Seeing and perceiving are _____.
A. the same action
B. two separate actions
C. two actions carried on entirely by eyes
D. several actions that take place at different times
72) People perceive different things about the same scene because ______.
A. they see different things
B. they cannot agree about things
C. some have better eyesight
D. None of these
73) Psychologists study perception by _____.
A. setting up many experiments
B. asking each other what they see
C. looking out of windows
D. studying people’s eyes
74) Which of the following statements is implied but not stated？
A. Psychologists do not yet know how people see.
B. The best experiments are those in which all factors are controlled.
C. The study of perception is going on now.
D. Perception does not involve psychological factors.
75) The best title for this selection is ____.
A. What Psychologists Perceive
B. Learning Our Minds Through Science
C. How We Perceive
D. How to Become an Experimental Psychologist
Key
71) B. two separate actions.
72) D. None of these.
73) A. setting up many experiments.
74) B. The best experiments are those in which all factors are controlled.
75) C. How we perceive.
Passage 3
Bill Grant was a famous newspaper editor (编辑) in the United States. He worked for the same newspaper from 1926 to 1968. He started as a clerk but by 1948 he had become the editor. That was the position he held until he retired.
Bill wrote his first story for the paper the day the New York Stock (股票) Market crashed in 1929. Two of the paper’s reporters were thirty miles from town checking on an airplane crash. The other one was in San Francisco investigating Chinatown.
When the first news of the stock market came into the office Bill immediately sat down and wrote up the story. The editor liked it so much that he used the story. And he didn’t make any changes in it. After that the editor decided Bill should be a reporter. He felt he was not using his real ability working as a clerk.
After this first story Bill became especially interested in financial news. But he wrote stories on just about everything. In 1945 he spent five months in Europe. His editor had decided he should write about the end of World War II. His paper was the smallest one with a writer in Europe.
One of Bill’s greatest moments came in 1946. A story he had written on war won the National Newspaperman’s Award. Bill took the prize but he gave all the credit (荣誉) to his editor.
Bill had a heart attack in 1957. He recovered fully but in 1961 he began suffering from a new disease. It lasted for the rest of his life. He overcame many emotional sufferings as well, including the death of his oldest daughter in a car accident.
It was just before Christmas in 1967 that he learned he had cancer. Six months later he died. But he had never stopped his work as an editor. The day before he died he had spent a full day at the office.
76) Bill Grant ________.
A. was a newspaper editor from 1926 to 1968
B. wrote his first story about the New York Stock Market crash in 1929 and soon after that he became the editor of the newspaper
C. had a heart attack in 1957 and recovered fully later on

77) We can deduce from the passage that when Bill was writing the story about the New York Stock Market crash there were ________ reporters on the newspaper.

D. Bill Grant spent most of his lifetime in the United States.
79) Which of the following is NOT a logical conclusion?

86) Direction: For this part, you are allowed twenty (20) minutes to write a composition on the topic: Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus. You should write 100-120 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1.大学生了解社会的必要性。
2.了解社会的途径（大众媒介，社会服务等）。
3.我打算怎么做。
Example
Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus
With the development of our society, the campus is no longer an “Ivory Tower”. It is necessary for college students to go outside to get to know the world. They should acquire knowledge not only from books but also from the society. Thus they can adapt to society more quickly after they graduate from school. Science and technology are developing rapidly with each passing day. Most students can keep themselves informed by watching TV, listening to the radio, reading newspapers and using the internet. It’s also good to take a part-time job, such as tutoring, or working in a restaurant. Any of these will enable students to get in touch with society.
The summer vacation will soon be here. I’ve already enrolled to be a volunteer to help others. I think I can do a good job. Although I won’t be paid, I can learn a lot about society, which I think is even more important.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs，but archaeologists (考古学家) learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal. It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the bacteria (细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different. In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police，who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal! Why was this man so well preserved? (76) It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe fi:om the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes. How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“Lindow Man”. (77) His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods. 1. Which language does the word “archaeology”come from? A. French. B. Greek. C. Roman. D. German. 2. The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to_______. A. letters B. photographs C. paintings D. objects 3. Which of the following helped to preserve“Lindow Man”? A. Ice and Iow temperature. B. Bacteria and oxygen. C. Soil and energy. D. Acid and water. 4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
